Sen. Steadman and Rep. Ferrandino |
Seven openly gay and lesbian candidates advanced in Democratic
primaries last Tuesday for seats in the Colorado General Assembly,
including two Latino men in their 20s. The number of LGBT state
lawmakers in Colorado could double after elections this November,
which could help Rep. Mark Ferrandino, an incumbent openly gay
Democrat, become House Speaker.
